Fairmont is offering double airline miles (American Airlines, Air Canada, Cathay Pacific, United & Air China) for stays until April 30, 2013, that are booked using “Everyone’s an Original Winter” offer by January 31, 2013. You can access this offer here.

There are some blackout dates that are property specific. The base number of miles (500) is doubled. The doubling of miles doesn’t apply to the elite bonuses.[click to continue…]

JetBlue sent out an email today regarding a promotion for all TrueBlue members. You can earn 5000 bonus TrueBlue points by taking 3 round trips or 6 one-ways in 2013.

There is no need to register for this promotion as it is open for all. The value of JetBlue point directly correlates with the price of the flight. Recent search returned a price of $159 or 11K points and $2.5.[click to continue…]

Priority Club just released their latest list of Point Breaks hotels that you can book for only 5000 points per night.

Seems that Hyatt Gold Passport cannot make their mind, whether to grant points (and possibly stay credit) for members that arrive to a hotel without having advance reservations.

I first reported about Hyatt Gold Passport terms and conditions change regarding the walk-in guests on December 9, 2013, and again on December 23, 2013, when Hyatt had reverted to old terms and conditions.[click to continue…]
